The way y'all describe it it seems like a wonderful place that would attract users.
Dazz.
Him and Jordan had... different opinions over how to run the forums. Dazz wanted a nice place where everybody could fit in (basically meaning we had to be nice to the terrible spriters and annoying 12 year olds, etc), while (I'm assuming) Jordan wanted it to be a cool place for bros to hang out. Everybody took sides, but ended up here anyway.
Essentially, think of PT as Spamhaul (but like 100x better) except this kind of stuff goes on in all of the boards and not just a single spam area (within reason, of course.)
tSRC is a lot closer today to how PT was, but a lot of the cool members from back then don't come around anymore/don't sprite.
The "first" version of tSRC was basically Nazi Dazz forcing us to be nice to everyone, and with Zee as a mod everybody hated it. A few of us stayed back on PT or came on both, but PT eventually shut down, leaving all of us at tSR.
Then there were a few shitstorms over Zee being a mod and abusing his powers, Chad got banned a few times, tSRC got hacked a couple of times, Zee ragequit tSR and got demodded, then everybody stopped caring.
And from there, it eventually became what it is today.
